In August 2003--nearly 10 years ago, perhaps--a two-part episode of Samurai Jack aired on Cartoon Network. The following year, it won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program, no less.
It is basically a prequel to the Premiere Movie, and it is something that explains the origins of the evil shape-shifting demon wizard Aku, as well as the origins of Samurai Jack's magic sword, and how Samurai Jack's dad, The Emperor of Japan, fought Aku and brought about his 'jailtime' by locking up Aku's remains and demon forces deep in the earth--so that he tree-like 'jailhouse' could stick out admist the damage that the Shogun of Sorrow has wrought.
That two-part Samurai Jack episode is called "The Birth of Evil".
I have done two things in preparation for the 10th anniversary of Samurai Jack: The Birth of Evil Parts one and two.
First off, I have done two versions of a fanmade Photoshop collage tribute poster that I had done today for that two-part Emmy Award-winning Samurai Jack episode that is Birth of Evil:


Secondly I am starting this thread so those who have seen or remembered seeing Samurai Jack and/or its Emmy Award-winning two-parter Birth of Evil could talk and reminiscence about this show and/or Birth of Evil.
And so, here we go.
Do you remember the two-part Emmy Award-winning Samurai Jack episode Birth of Evil? Do you like it or not? What is your favorite part(s) from Birth of Evil?
Well, what's your word or review on Birth of Evil, the two-part Emmy Award-winning Samurai Jack episode that I'm talking about?
